Yeah, I wrenched on it years back. What do you want to know?

In fact I spent sometime with it this last weekend (10/12-13) in San Diego at the Chrysler Classic Speed Fest. I should download some of the pictures.....

I almost bought one of Smokey's 302s. They wanted $6500 for it. After he died they donated alot of his notes and items and then sold the rest. It is only an or so from here to his shop so a couple of use went down there and I must say they had a lot of interesting items for sell. I might know who bought it if you are interested in trying to purchase on of his motors. There were 5 or 6 of them there. E mail me and let me know. LMSCRacin@attbi.com

Well I wouldnt even know where to start. There is not a whole-lot on that car that hasent been 'massaged' in one way or another. Instead of writing a winded response, I must say that you should pick-up the January 1996 HotRod magizine. This issue has done the best article on the car currently.

http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive/...st_camaro.html

From there I dont know what you will want to know......spring rates? Sway bar? Brake mods? Type of control arms, spindles used? Body massaging?

I'll work on the pictures from the event last weekend.....
